I was born in Memphis. My dad buried there.My paternal family from North Mississippi same as Presley family. Saw Presley in Beverly Hills bout 10 feet away from me, back in 1970’s. He was a pretty man. I am a very pretty woman. He saw this! Presley and Murchison have much in common.

Right now, am writing my story, a long, compelling book embracing World Peace, Love for Humanity and Human and Equine Spirituality, here, in the Sahara Desert The Kingdom of Morocco North Africa 🌍
